Buffalo Bills news, rumors and injuries

Free-agents C Russell Bodine (Bengals) and OT Marshall Newhouse (Raiders) were signed by the Buffalo Bills Monday, March 19. Bodine signed a two-year deal and Newhouse signed a one-year deal. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Buffalo Bills DE Trent Murphy has a deal for $22.5 million, with $10.375 million guaranteed. He receives a $5.25 million signing bonus, and guaranteed salaries of $2.625 million in 2018 and 2019. He'll receive $5.725 million total in 2019 if he is on the roster for the fifth day of the 2019 season, and $6.1 million in 2020 with a $500K roster bonus on the fifth day of that season. In addition, he receives $31,250 per game active roster bonus annually, up to $1.66 million sack incentive annually, and $833,375 sacks base escalator for 2019 and 2020.

Free-agent LB Will Compton (Redskins) will visit with the Buffalo Bills, a source said Friday, March 16. There is looking for a replacement for LB Preston Brown (Bengals), but general manager Brandon Beane said the team is low on cap space and cannot sign players to large deals.

Buffalo Bills DE Trent Murphy (knee) said he is on schedule in his rehab from a torn anterior cruciate ligament and should be ready for the 2018 season. He said he may be limited at the start of offseason workouts.

Updating a previous report, new Buffalo Bills QB AJ McCarron will earn at least $10 million over two years with $6.5 million available in incentives.

Fantasy Tip: McCarron is probably going to be the starter in Buffalo at the onset of campaign, but due to the club's lack of depth in their supporting cast, he's really just an option for two-quarterback formats. The former Bengal flashed some success when he got the chance to start for a time during the 2015 campaign, but he's not likely to duplicate that in his current situation.
